Default Who is your favorite comedian?

Alive or dead? I loved the late great George Carlin and is probably my all time favorite. A close 2nd goes to Jeremy Hotz, my favorite guy still going.

I would post a video but I don't think I've ever seen one that isn't NSFW.

Mitch Hedberg was pretty great. Mike Birbiglia is one of my current favorites.

After hearing Gilbert Gottfried on Stern this morning its hard not to pick him. That guy is just hilarious, even if its completely inappropriate for most channels/stations. I love that guy!
